Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 34 Returning to the Wilderness

For several days in a row, Qin Mu practiced the "Celestial God Record" in the morning, the "World Destruction" spear technique in the afternoon, and studied genetics and cultivation guidance techniques in the evening.

During this time, he would occasionally take some time to guide the two little ones, Mu Mu and Xiao Wu, in their cultivation, and his days were quite fulfilling.

With complete dedication to spiritual practice, the progress is also very encouraging.

Qin Mu had already completed the first six illustrations of the first volume of "The Celestial Gods' Records," which was almost no challenge for him.

He had mastered all 21 moves of the first level of the "World Destroyer" spear technique, greatly improving his control over his body's strength. His movement technique had reached the point where he could use it with ease, touching the threshold of subtlety. He could easily unleash a hidden force.

With the help of the Mother Nest, the progress is incredibly fast. Any mistakes or omissions can be easily discovered and corrected immediately. It's practically a cultivation artifact.

"These past few days, with the help of the mother nest, I've read through several books on genetic engineering and gained a general understanding of it. Next, I'll delve deeper into the subject."

With the help of the mother nest, Qin Mu's learning ability is terrifying. Reading ten lines at a glance is a routine operation for him, and reading books is as easy as turning the pages.

This is not just superficial understanding, but a true comprehension and mastery of the knowledge.

Sitting cross-legged in the martial arts training hall, Qin Mu sorted out his gains over the past few days.

After training, Qin Mu's strength has greatly improved. Although his physical attributes are still at the limit of a high-level warrior and he is only a little short of the minimum requirement of 8000 kg for a junior warrior, his actual combat power is several times higher than before!

Even without using mental power, a martial artist's strength alone, amplified by the "World Destroyer" spear technique, would be no match for a typical novice warrior.

If you continue your cultivation, even without feedback from the mother nest, you can break through to the warrior level within half a month by cultivating on your own.

As the ruler of the swarm, not only can the feedback from the swarm improve one's strength, but one's own cultivation can also improve normally.

The consciousness is connected to Mother Nest No. 2, which is located in County No. 0203.

The swarm has been developing smoothly these days, with its numbers approaching ten thousand. This is despite the fact that the swarm has fought many battles with the monsters and suffered heavy casualties.

As the swarm continues to expand and hunt outwards, it has already engaged in large-scale battles with several monsters at the level of beast generals. Apart from a flying monster, the Golden Vulture, and a high-level beast general-level Wild Bull, the other monsters have been surrounded and killed by the swarm!

Although the golden vulture escaped the gray lark's attack, the swarm of insects inflicted considerable damage on it and successfully obtained its genes. The mother hive is now working hard to analyze its life structure.

On the contrary, the high-level beast general-level savage bull was quite troublesome. That high-level beast general-level savage bull had a shoulder height of over three meters, extremely strong defense, and also had two low-level beast general-level savage bulls under its command, with a herd of over a thousand people.

In several battles, the Zerg swarm gained no advantage and even suffered considerable losses.

Although the swarm had a huge numerical advantage, the Wild Bull was known for its unity and gregariousness among bovine monsters. In several battles, the Wild Bull, a high-ranking beast general, led the way and broke through the swarm's encirclement.

Afterwards, because the swarm killed many ordinary wild bulls and a low-level beast general wild bull, it attracted the high-level beast general wild bull to come and retaliate frequently.

As for the monsters that were surrounded and killed by the swarm, they were a low-level beast general-level lion mastiff, a mid-level warrior-level bloodthirsty tank, and a low-level beast general-level brute bull.

This allowed the swarm to successfully acquire the genes of three beast general-level creatures, and they only need to wait for the second-level mother hive to successfully hatch to hatch beast general-level swarms.

The structure of the swarm is also constantly changing under the adjustment of the mother nest, among which the iron-haired wild boar has been gradually eliminated and replaced by the unicorn wild boar.

Compared to the Iron-haired Wild Boar, the One-Horned Wild Boar is stronger and more agile, and its single horn greatly enhances its charging power.

The Tiger Mastiff's position remains secure. While the swarm has hatched some monsters like the Lion Mastiff for comparison, the Tiger Mastiff still performs best in actual combat.

The same applies to the Shadow Cat. Although there is a similar animal, the Tiger Cat, the Shadow Cat is positioned as an assassin and scout. Its petite size is more suitable for the ruins of the city.

Therefore, the Zerg's main units are now the Hound, the Boar, and the Shadowcat, with many other units providing support.

Most importantly, the genetic progress of the first-level mother nest has reached 91%, and it is about to evolve into a second-level mother nest, accumulating more than 10,000 energy points.

In another day or two, the swarm will be able to evolve into a level two mother hive.

"I've learned most of what I need to learn, and my weapons are ready. The rest I need to learn and improve through actual combat."

"Then let's set off today, to the wilderness, to the Mother Nest!"

Qin Mu's eyes were bright and full of light.

This time, the swarm will begin its true expansion, spreading in all directions, and I will also engage in real combat, a life-or-death struggle!

After saying goodbye to Uncle Qing, Qin Mu put on his full combat uniform, slung his combat backpack over his shoulder, picked up a long weapon case, and went straight out.

On the second day after moving into the villa area, Uncle Qing already knew that Qin Mu had gone into the wilderness.

They also knew that Qin Mu had awakened his mental cultivation, making him invincible among mid-level warriors. After their initial shock and admiration, they naturally decided not to interfere with Qin Mu's thoughts any further.

As night fell, Qin Mu disembarked from the train bound for the military camp.

When the two soldiers on guard saw Qin Mu, they immediately stood at attention and saluted, even though they weren't wearing uniforms.

Qin Mu nodded and smiled.

Qin Mu was a minor celebrity at this supply base, especially after news of his combat assessment spread and he joined the military.

Based on his previous memory, Qin Mu went directly to the martial artist supply base, to the front desk, and registered his information.

"Colonel Qin Mu!"

The officer in charge of registration was the same one as last time, and he quickly stood up and saluted.

Although Qin Mu had joined the military, he did not hold a specific position, so he was addressed by his military rank.

"Could you please register me?"

Qin Mu said with a smile.

"Okay, are you still going into the wilderness alone?"

The officer asked.

"Yes, alone."

"Alright, room number is A3. Colonel Qin Mu, wishing you a successful hunt!"

The officer respectfully handed over a key.

After getting the key, Qin Mu went straight to his room. Along the way, he encountered many martial artists who greeted him, a stark contrast to the previous time when no one paid him any attention.

Especially when Qin Mu found the room, he sighed with emotion.

This house is much bigger and more luxurious than the previous small building. It has to be said that as long as you have the means, you can enjoy better treatment wherever you go.

After entering the room and resting for a while, Qin Mu did not linger and drove his off-road pickup truck, loaded with supplies, into the wilderness.

Under the moonlight, a large flock of gray larks flew in from nowhere, circling and following Qin Mu above his head as if they were escorting him.

As the off-road pickup truck drove out of the Warrior Supply Base, squads of tigers and hounds silently followed on both sides of the road, faithfully guarding it.

At this moment, the ruler of the swarm returned to the swarm.
